You got it just right! Very nicely done!

I agree with everyone this was a very powerful!

It was a day of infamy. A day when innocence was lost for this country and our young people. We were no longer naive to our world.

You have touched on what so many people felt that day and feel around the world," I was no longer me. I was one in millions...I if felt so utterly small."

This was a paradigm shift for many of us.

Wow! This is one powerful story, especially coming from one who was so young when the tragedy happened. When i first read your story, I thought "I can only imagine how something like that would affect someone so young.' Then I remembered that I was in a classroom when the news of JFK's assassination reached me. Like you, I was confused at first, watching the teachers crying (Grown-ups didn't cry at that time). Then, the gravity of what had happened gradually sunk in. Thanks for such a meaningful and heartfelt story.

Had to read it once again, as I said before, I saw a lot of it go down and it was a stressful day for everyone in NY. It's soothing to read this again and to try to recall those memories in a different light

It's crazy to think of what we doing the day the US was attacked. It's a hard memory to relive but it's important to remember. Thank you for sharing.

Another day that will live in infamy.
This memorial piece strikes home in so many ways because you put the images into words so professionally--I hope that word is appropriate--and so personally. I was not in your school, but my own reactions were exactly like yours. As a published work, Indelible is like an editorial written for one of the nation's best newspapers; poignant and hitting the mark.
On a human level, it underscores the fact that thousands of innocents suffered, and then died in a most horrific way.

'I was no longer me. I was one in millions.' This says it all. We were all united through this one dreadful event.
Well presented Jess.

Powerful and moving. You captured the reality and feeling of that day with grace. Thank you for sharing
